Scherer to Deliver an Address This Evening. An old house in the rear of Me- roney’s opera house that has a history was torn away yesterday. Thirty years ago this house was the paradise of gamblers. They camo to Salisbury from towns within a radius of 2C0 miles and in one close room .played cards for weeks on a stretch. The most popular game was a 55 limit and poker was played with a vengeance in those days. Bunks were pro vided in an adj lining room for exhausted players and meals were brought to the room regularly. But one day the game came to an abrupt end. The banker (who was a half parter in the business) played almost continuously and had remarkable luck. In fact he never failed to scoop in every pot in which he played.« No one sus pected him at first of trickery but his phenomenal and unbroken run of luck finally aroused some sus picion among the other players, A quiet investigation followed and the storm broke. It was discover ed that between the ceiling and the roof a revolving table had been arranged and the other partner of the house occupied this table lying face forward upon it. Through the ceiling numerous holes had been bored and the hands of the players wereplainly visible. From this garret a wire was arranged which ran between the ceiling to the ground and then to the floor. At both ends was arranged a but ton, one conveniently at hand for the individual on the wheel and the other under the foot of the banker — player. By asystemof signalsun- ’erstood between them the player would know the strength of any land around the table and as a natter of course, possessed every prc?:h ! ? advent-go in , bis pGys. By this trick he fairly coined money but when the fraud was discovered the game was broken up and the house deserted. There will be an important meet ins' of Sapona Tribe No. 33 of Red Men tonight at 8 o’clock. All candidates who have not taken their first degree are urged to re port tonight for the work. Every member of the team must be in at tendance, and all Red Men are re quested to be present. Dr. Archibald Henderson Will be Married on June 23rd. SENATOR OVERMAN SPEAKS.

Editor: Please accept my thanks for your kind and compli mentary notice, in your issue of yesterday, of the rendition of the operette presented at the opera house Monday evening. Permit me to say, however, that “the com bined winsomeness of the tiny ones,” (which was, indeed, most charming) led you into the unin tentional error of saying: “In the main those participating were of the Kindergarten . department.” Justice to all seems to require the statement that the larger members of participants and the leading characters were Miss Minnie Stal lings’ music pupils, and the larger girls of the school.
